NSW MIGRATION HERITAGE CENTRE EXHIBITION - AT THE POWERHOUSE MUSEUM 

Our new home

Meie uus kodu: Estonian-Australian stories

Australia is home to a small but thriving community from the northern
European country of Estonia. At the end of World War II, over 6500
Estonians left behind the familiar northern lights of Estonian skies to
make their home beneath the Southern Cross in Australia. 

Today four out of every ten Australians are either migrants or the
children of migrants. Most, like the Estonians, arrived in the decades
following World War II. 

This exhibition explores the harrowing stories of invasion,
dispossession and flight from Europe. It also reveals what settlement in
Australia has meant to generations of Estonian Australians.

The NSW Migration Heritage Centre and the Powerhouse Museum thank the
Estonian community in Sydney for their generous cooperation and
assistance. In particular, the Estonian Archives in Australia and the
Thirlmere community. 

A joint exhibition of the NSW Migration Heritage Centre and the
Powerhouse Museum in partnership with the Wollondilly Heritage Centre. 

See it at the Powerhouse Museum, 500 Harris Street, Ultimo

30 November 2006 -October 2007
